A tribute to Steve Irwin

Well the title says it all...i was standing in Lions Arch when i saw on local chat that there was a memorial service to Steve in LA...got a few pics but this is the best of them.

A stringray...of all the things for a man in his lifestyle to dye from...

To be honest, and please do not take this as sarcasm:
It's actually quite the way to go for him. He films animals, often handles dangerous ones, goes about them freely, whilst knowing he is in danger.
This was bound to happen, with all due respect. (I loved his show).
This is a fitting way to go for a man in his profession. He could have been killed in a car accident. now THAT would have been an anticlimax. Or food poisoning. Or a sudden stroke.
but he got stung by one of the animals he works with on a daily basis. Well, that was the risk, and he took it. So I don't think he'd be very upset about the way it happened himself. I just wished it would have happened a LOT later, after having lived a good life. 44 is way too young to go...

R.I.P. Steve, G'day mate! All the best and strenght to your family.

Ya know, I don't know why he would stay on that career path after having a kid. Such a dangerous path, and now his kid is fatherless forever.

A very sad day indeed......but lets think about who he left behind.....He was married and had 2 small kids...8 and 3....lets remember them today as well....



and yes 44 is way toooo young! (and a little tooo close to my age for my comfort).

I think it's great that people from different areas, just playing a game, think enough of someone to pay a tribute like that.

Well done Malvaeus

Read it yourself...

very sad story, he was a good friend of mine......

It was on the american servers!!! WHY??!?!?!

Bad news

I know that in about on from now, for the rest of the existance of humans, Irwin be looked at as legend, alot like all those people in the stories, I bet he will, as an invincible animal lover.

Sad tragedy, he was a great guy doing things unimaginable with dangerous animals. Because of him zoos were built and many animals were saved and taught people to care for animals as well as educate. R.I.P.

What will happen when Chuck Norris dies?
